A 

SHORT  SKETCH 

OF  THE 

■OPERATIONS  ON  THE  DELAWARE^ 

DURING  THE  LATE  WAR. 

THE  differences  which  had  so  long  subsisted  between  tlic 
United  States  and  Great  Britain,  and  which  had  led  to  the  va- 
rious measures  of  the  restrictive  system  finally  resulted  in  war, 
which  was  declared  by  Congress  on  the  1 8th  day  of  June,  1812. 
The  building  and  fitting  out  of  some  gun-boats  and  privateers 
in  the  port  of  Philadelphia,  the  repairing  of  the  ordnance  at 
Fort  Miiflin,  and  some  measures  preparatory  to  placing  that 
fortification  in  a  state  of  defence,  constituted  almost  the  whole 
of  the  military  operations  which  took  place  on  the  Delaware 
during  that  year. 

So  early  as  the  month  of  March  of  1813,  the  blockade  of 
the  Delaware,  which  had  been  constantly  anticipated  from  the 
period  at  which  hostilities  were  proclaimed,  was  commenced 
by  Commodore  Sir  John  P.  Berresford,  with  the  Poictiers 
seventy-four,  the  frigate  Belvidere  Capt.  Byron,  and  an  occa- 
sional reinforcement  of  other  vessels,  and  was  prosecuted  with 
such  rigour  as  to  cut  off  the  chief  part  of  the  foreign  commerce 
of  Philadelphia.  In  the  course  of  that  month,  the  enemy 
were  several  times  repulsed  by  the  militia  of  Delaware,  in  at- 
tempts to  capture  small  vessels  close  in  with  the  shore,  and 
some  instances  occurred  of  sharp  firing  between  the  contend- 
ing parties. 

On  the  16th  of  March  a  communication  was  made  to  the  in- 
i  habitants  of  Lewistown,  a  small  town  situate  near  Cape  Hen- 


open,  and  in  sight  of  the  cruizing  ground  of  the  British,  by- 
Commodore  Berresford,  in  which  he  made  a  demand  upon 
hem  for  "  twenty  live  bullocks,  with  a  proportionate  quantity 
of  vegetables  and  hay,**  promising  payment  at  the  Philadel- 
phia prices,  but  threatening  in  case  of  non-compliance,  to 
festroy  their  town.  This  civil  epistle  was  addressed  "  to  the 
irst  magistrate  of  Lewistown,**  and  as  might  have  been  anti- 
cipated, was  received  by  the  people  with  hearty  indignation. 
V  positive  refusal  was  returned,  and  the  enemy  were  given  to 
inderstand  that  they  could  expect  nothing  but  what  they  could 
'btain  by  force. 

The  intelligence  of  this  menace,  with  the  probability  of  its 
being  put  into  execution,  soon  spread  along  the  shores  of  the 
Delaware,  and  aroused  the  dormant  feelings  of  those  who  fan- 
icd  that  the  destroying  power  of  the  enemy  would  chiefly  be 
'xercised  on  the  ocean.  At  Lewistown  a  considerable  body  of 
militia  immediately  assembled,  and  at  Dover,  Smyrna,  New- 
Castle  and  Wilmington,  measures  for  assisting  to  repel  the  in- 
vadei-s  were  promptly  entered  upon.  Volunteer  corps  were 
brmed,  and  batteries  to  protect  the  two  latter  towns  were  soon 
onstructed.  The  specie  of  the  banks  of  New-Castle  and 
Wilmington  was  removed  for  safety  to  Philadelphia,  and  every 
arrangement  was  made  for  an  expected  invasion.  Two  volun- 
cer  companies  at  Philadelphia,  viz.  the  Independent  Blues, 
Captain  Mitchell,  and  the  Junior  Artillerists,  a  company  of 
spirited  and  respectable  young  men  associated  for  the  purpose 
in  three  days  notice^  under  the  command  of  Capt.  Jacob  H. 
¥isler,  volunteered  to  garrison  Fort  Mifflin,  and  were  accept- 
ed  for  that  service  on  the  22d  of  March.  * 

*  Oil  the  discharge  of  these  two  companies  from  their  duty  at  tlie 
i'''jjt,  the  following  complimentary  order  was  issued. 

Head  Quarters,  4th  Mllitarv  District, 
I'hiladelphia,  April  7,  1813. 
GENERAL  ORDERS. 
General  Bloomfield  cannot  permit  C-^pt.  Mitchell  and  Fislci-*s  com- 
panies of  the  militia  of  Philadelphin  to  leave  Port  MilBin,  witljout  ex- 
pressing his  satisfaction  and  thanks  forthrir  promptness  and  alacrity,  in 
the  tender  of  their  services  to  the  United  States,  to  garrison  fort  Mifflin, 
on  the  fir?l  intimation  of  the  present  emergency ;  and  liis  entire  approba 


On  the  23d  of  March,  the  Governor  of  Delaware  having, 
arrived  at  Lewistown,  communicated  to  Commodore  Beres 
ford  an  official  reply  to  his  letter  of  the  16th.,  urging  the  entire 
impossibility  of  his  requisition  being  complied  with,  and  on  the 
same  day  received  for  answer,  that  as  the  demand  was  neither 
ungenerous  nor  wanting  in  magnanimity,  the  Commodore  felt, 
it  incumbent  on  him  to  persist  in  his  determination,  and,  said 
he,  "whatever  sufferings  may  fall  upon  the  inhabitants  of 
Lewis,  must  be  attributed  to  yourselves,  by  not  complying 
with  a  request  so  easily  acquiesced  in."  Notwithstanding  the 
repetition  of  the  threat,  nothing  was  done  until  the  6th  of 
April.  On  the  evening  of  that  day, the  Belvidera,  with  several 
small  vessels,  came  close  in  to  Lewistown,  and  commenced 
an  attack  by  firing  several  thirty-two  pound  shot  into  the  town, 
after  which  a  flag  was  sent  on  shore  with  a  renewal  of  the 
enemy's  demand,  accompanied  by  an  additional  one,  for  a 
supply  of  water.  To  this  message,  Colonel  Samuel  B.  Davis, 
who  commanded  the  troops,  returned  for  answer  that,  neither 
could  be  comfilied  nvith.  Capt.  Byron  in  reply,  expressed  his 
regret  at  the  distress  which  would  be  brought  upon  the  wo- 
men and  children  of  the  village,  by  the  pertinacious  refusal 
of  their  friends  to  comply  with  the  demand  of  Sir  John,  and 
earnestly  desired  that  they  might  be  instantly  removed.  Colo- 
nel Davis  very  politely  returned  him  for  answer  that  "  he  had 
already  taken  care  of  the  ladies."^  The  firing  soon  after  com- 
menced, and  a  regular  bombardment  was  kept  up  for  twenty- 
two  hours,  during  which  time  it  was  calculated  that  near  one 
thousand  shot  of  eighteen  and  thirty -two  pounds,  were  fired 

tlon  of  Iheip  zeal,  activity  and  patience  at  Fort  Mifflin,  in  the  discharge 
of  the  duty  of  citizen  soldiers.  Their  patriotic  example  will  be  emulated 
by  the  niimerous  companies  of  militia  who  have  offered  to  repair  to  the 
standard  of  their  country. 

Much  credit  is  due  to  captains  Karker  and  Williams  of  the  2d  Regi- 
ment U.  S.  Artillery,  for  their  unwearied  diligence  in  the  exercise  and 
improvement  of  the  militia  in  garrison  duty. 

Tlie  General  acknowledges  his  obligations,  to  General  Wharton  and 
Colonel  Diuine,adjutant.general  of  this  district,  for  the  advantage  derlv- 
1  from  tlieir  intelligence  and  assistance

*  I  he  place,  besides  shells  and  congreve  rockets.  Many 
houses  were  damaged,  but  no  lives  were  lost.  At  the  com- 
mencement of  the  bombardment,  our  troops  were  in  want 
jf  ammunition,  but  soon  receiving  a  supply  of  fioivder  from 
heir  friends  and  of  balls  from  the  enemy,  which  fitted  the 
alibre  of  their  pieces  exactly,  they  were  able  to  maintain  a 
irctty  vigorous  fire.  On  the  afternoon  of  the  7th,  preparations 
vcre  made  by  the  enemy  to  land,  and  several  small  vessels 
\i]l  of  men  approached  the  shore,  where  a  gallant  band  was 
;)repared  to  meet  them,  but  they  were  called  back  by  a  signal 
Vom  the  squadron.  Thus  ended  an  affair  which  reflected  as 
ifuich  dishonour  upon  the  British  arms,  as  it  did  credit  upon 
the  inhabitants  of  Lewistown  and  its  vicinity,  who  were  pre- 
pared to  make  every  sacrifice  rather  than  to  submit  to  the 
odious  act  of  aiding  and  abetting  their  country's  foes. 

The  attack  on  Lewistown  was  but  a  specimen  of  the  ma- 
rauding course  which  was  in  store  for  the  inhabitants  of  our 
defenceless  villages.  Whilst  these  scenes  were  acting  on  the 
Delaware,  Admiral  George  Cockburn,  whose  unprincipled 
system  of  plunder  will  be  ever  held  in  execration  by  those  who 
i  espect  the  laws  of  honourable  warfare,  commanded  the  British 
forces  in  the  v/aters  of  the  Chesapeake.  Having  ascended  the 
bay,  he  on  the  29th  of  April  made  an  attack  upon  Frenchtown,  a 
-mall  place  consisting  oHnot  more  than  six  or  eight  houses  and 
stores,  the  latter  of  which  containing  merchandize  to  the  value 
of  many  thousands  of  dollars,  belonging  to  Philadelphia  and 
Baltimore  merchants,  were  destroyed.  On  the  3d  of  May  at 
day  light,  the  town  of  Havre-de-grace  situate  on  the  west  side 
of  the  Susquehanna,  two  miles  fiom  its  mcuth,  was  bombard- 
ed, and  the  defenceless  inhabitants  driven  from  their  beds. 
The  resistance  made  to  the  landing  of  the  enemy  who  had  ap- 
proached in  nineteen  barges,  by  the  few  militia  which  could 
he  assembled,  was  slight,  and  no  sooner  had  they  reached  the 
shore,  than  they  became  busily  occupied  in  destroying  the 
houses.  To  use  the  words  of  a  writer  who  has  very  minutely 
described  the  scene,  "  they  set  fire  to  tliose  which  had  not  been 
injured  by  their  shells,  broke  the  furniture,  and  cut  open  the 
bcddins;  of  tbe  citbens  to  au^'7iicv;<  tl^o  f!?iT><'"=-  ^ic^-tvoyed  \\v: 


public  stages,  maimed  the  horses,  cut  to  pieces  the  private 
baggage  of  the  passengers,  tore  the  clothing  of  some  of  the 
inhabitants  from  their  backs,  and  left  to  others  those  only  which 
they  wore.  Women  and  children  flying  in  every  direction  to 
avoid  a  relentless  foe,  and  to  seek  protection  from  their  own 
countrymen,  were  insulted  by  the  morose  seamen  and  marines; 
and  the  only  house  which  yet  remained  entirely  uninjured,  was 
sought  by  one  and  all  as  an  assylum."* 

Such  conduct  on  the  part  of  a  hostile  force  which  had  pene- 
trated into  the  heart  of  the  country  by  the  Chesapeake,  and 
which  it  is  said  occasionally  ascended  the  Delaware  bay  so  as  to 
be  visible  from  New-Castle,  gavethefirstimpulse  to  thatmilitary 
spirit  amongst  our  citizens,  which  at  a  more  advanced  stage  of 
Ihe  war,  became  so  universal.  It  had  so  happened,  that  almost 
ever  since  the  disbanding  of  those  respectable  corps,  known 
by  the  name  of  Macfiherson^a  Blues  and  Sheets  Legion^  the 
former  in  1800,  and  the  latter  in  181 1,  the  volunteer  system 
had  fallen  much  into  disrepute.  A  few  companies  of  active 
and  aspiring  young  men  had  at  different  periods  been  formed, 
!Dut  their  duration  in  general  was  short,  and  it  was  almost  in 
vain  to  attempt  to  withstand  the  popular  opinion,  which  was 
decidedly  averse  to  military  parade.  So  strong  indeed  was 
this  feeling,  that  at  the  period  when  war  was  declared,  there 
were  in  existence  within  the  city  and  Liberties  of  Philadelphia, 
not  more  than  three  or  four  volunteer  companies  of  infantry, 
and  as  many  of  cavalry,  neither  of  which  contained  more  than 
half  their  compliment  of  effective  men.  Prejudice  however 
was  at  length  compelled  to  yield  to  necessity,  and  even  amongst 
those  whose  families  and  connections  were  principled  against 
the  bearing  of  arms,  there  were  not  wanting  a  patriotic  few, 
who  conceived  that  the  defence  of  their  country  was  amongst 
their  chief  duties.  Under  the  influence  of  this  spirit,  the  or- 
ganization of  volunteer  companies  commenced,  and  prepara- 
tions were  made  for  opening  the  first  campaign.

Register  for  May  1813. 


"^THE  FIRST  CAMPAIGN. 

The  depredations  committed  by  the  British  on  the  Cheasa 
peake,  and  their  menacing  attitude  on  the  Delaware,  rendered 
it  absolutely  necessary  that  a  force  should  be  embodied  to  re- 
pel their  aggressions.  With  this  view  a  detachment  of  militia 
was  ordered  to  be  drafted  for  the  service  of  the  United  States. 
No  sooner  was  this  measure  known,  than  the  Philadelphia 
Blues,  and  Independent  Volunteers,  two  old  and  respectable 
companies,  united  with  the  Washington  Guards,  which  had 
become  organized  in  March  and  was  the  Jirst  nev)  comfiany- 
'  of  iufantrij  formed  after  the  commencement  of  the  ivar, 
in  offering  their  services  to  the  government  in  lieu  of  the  con- 
templated militia  draft.  Their  offer  Avas  accepted,  and  after 
having  been  mustered  and  inspected,  the  detachment  march- 
ed from  the  city  for  the  state  of  Delaware  on  tlie  afternoon  of 
the  13th  of  May,  under  the  command  of  Colonel  Lewis  Rush. 
It  encamped  for  the  night  a  short  distance  below  Gray's  ferry, 
where  in  consequence  of  a  severe  rain  on  the  succeeding  day. 
it  was  detained  until  near  noon  of  the  15th,  on  the  evening  o. 
which  day  it  arrived  and  quartered  at  Chester.  On  the  16th, 
it  passed  through  AVilmington,  and  pitched  upon  a  field  abou" 
a  mile  below  that  town,  and  on  the  moraing  of  the  17th  readi- 
ed Staunton  a  village  on  the  Baltimore  road,  six  miles  from 
Wilmington,  about  a  mile  from  which  a  permanent  encamp- 
ment was  formed.  This  spot  was  selected  by  General  Bloom- 
field,  then  commander  of  the  district  as  an  elegible  spot  for  a 
camp  of  observation,  on  account  of  its  proximity  to  the  water?; 
of  the  Delaware  and  Chesapeake.  New-Castle  on  the  lefi 
was  but  six  miles  distant,  and  the  Head  of  Elk  where  th( 
British  had  landed  during  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  imme- 
diately preceding  the  battle  of  Brandywine,  and  where  it  was 
thought  probable  from  their  movements,  they  again  intended 
to  annoy  the  country,  was  but  seventeen  miles.  It  was  sup- 
posed that  a  force  of  three  hundred  and  fifty  men,  aided  by  the 
volunteers  of  Delaware  would  be  amply  suf!icientto  repulse 
any  body  of  the  enemy  which  would  probably  be  landed  on 
either  side,  and  orders  were   given  to  send   out  occasiona] 


parties  to  collect  information,  to  obtain  a  knowledge 
of  the  surrounding  country,  and  to  watch  the  movements  of 
the  foe,  should  any  attempt  be  made  to  disembark  his  troops. 
These  parties  under  the  command  of  a  commissioned  offi- 
cer, extended  their  reconnoitering  excursions  as  far  as  Chris- 
tianna,  Newark,  New-Castle  and  even  Elkton. 

On  Sunday  the  29th  of  May,  an  express  reached  Wil- 
mington, informing  that  two  frigates,  one  sloop  of  war  and  a 
tender  were  ascending  the  Delaware  under  a  press  of  sail, 
with  affair  wind. — The  drums  beat  to  arms,  and  the  several 
volunteer  corps  assembled  at  their  respective  posts.  Intelli- 
gence of  the  expected  attack,  with  the  usual  exaggerated  re- 
ports was  soon  conveyed  to  the  camp,  and  inspired  the  troops 
with  a  vigour  not  before  exhibited.  Even  those  who  were 
under  the  surgeon's  care,  were  instantly  cured  of  their 
infirmities,  buckled  on  their  arms  and  stood  in  the  ranks  pre- 
pared for  a  march.  The  whole  country  was  in  consternation, 
and  all  believed  that  the  enemy  was  at  hand.  The  Inde- 
pendent Blues,  was  ordered  down  to  New-Castle,  whilst 
the  other  two  companies  stood  by  their  arms,  prepared 
to  proceed  towards  Christiana,  or  in  any  other  direction 
from  which  the  enemy  might  approach.— All  was  life 
and  activity,  and  the  ambitious  spirits  who  had  long  been 
indulging  the  hope  of  distinction  on  the  field  of  battle,  already 
fancied  their  anticipations  realized.  But  their  hopes  were 
short-lived.  The  alarm  proved  to  be  groundless;  some  bar- 
ges had  appeared  higher  up  the  bay  than  usual,  and  in  their 
course  had  been  magnified  to  a  small  fleet  of  ships.  The  In- 
dependent Blues  remained  under  arms  at  New -Castle  during 
the  night,  and  on  the  following  afternoon  returned  to  camp. 

A  rumour  about  this  time  having  obtained  currency,  that 
the  enemy  purposed  to  ascend  the  Delaware,  and  to  attempt 
the  destruction  of  the  extensive  powder  mills  on  the  Brandy- 
wine,  Colonel  Rush  was  ordered  to  take  up  a  new  position 
with  his  troops  on  Shellpot  hill,  three  miles  north  of  Wil- 
mington, one  from  the  Delaware,  and  about  half  way  be- 
tween the  latter  and  the  main  Philadelphia  road.  This  posi- 
tion was  high  and  healthy,  commanded   a  complete  view  of 


the  river  as  far  down  as  New-Castle,  and  covered  Hamilton", 
landing,  the  only  practicable  point  near  the  Brandywine, 
where  a  debarkation  could  have  been  effected.  The  detach- 
ment left  their  ground  near  Staunton,  on  the  2d  of  June,  and  on 
the  same  day  reached  their  new  station,  where  they  continued 
without  any  active  service  until  the  month  of  July.  The 
daily  drills  and  battallion  exercises,  with  the  nightly  posting  of 
picket  guards  at  the  landing  on  the  river,  tended  to  perfect 
the  men  in  their  discipline  and  duties,  and  it  would  certainly 
not  be  going  too  far  to  say,  that  their  appearance  and  know- 
ledge of  military  movements,  had  never  before  been  surpass- 
ed by  the  same  number  of  volunteers  in  the  service  of  the 
United  States. 

The  heat  of  the  weather  rendering  it  ineligible  to  continue  an 
encampment  too  long  upon  the  same  spot,  the  detachment  was 
marched  on,  or  about  the  12th.  of  July  to  Oak  Hill  near  Stille's 
run,  about  four  miles  south  of  Dupont's  powder  mills,  and  about 
the  same  distance  west  from  Wilmington.  Here  it  continued 
until  the  final  order  for  return,  which  took  place  after  the  British 
had  descended  the  Chesapeake  to  wage  their  predatory  warfare 
upon  the  defenceless  towns  situated  near  the  mouth  of  the  bay. 
The  camp  was  broken  upon  the  26th  of  July,  and  the  troops 
reached  Chester  on  that  night,  and  Philadelphia  on  the  after- 
noon of  the  succeeding  day.  In  the  neighbourhood  of  the 
lower  ferry,  they  were  met  by  a  number  of  the  volunteer  corps 
of  cavalry  and  infantry,  who  had  prepared  for  them  a  grateful 
repast  at  the  Woodlands,  and  were  escorted  into  the  city,  where 
they  were  dismissed  in  front  of  the  State  House. 

In  calling  the  attention  of  our  old  companions  to  the  scenes 
of  this  year,  it  would  be  doing  injustice  to  the  inhabitants  of 
the  State  of  Delaware  in  the  neighbourhood  of  whom  the 
several  encampments  of  the  detachment  were  formed,  to 
omit  to  notice  the  liberal  hospitality  displayed  by  them.  No 
civility  or  accommodation,  calculated  to  render  the  situation 
of  the  troops  agreeable,  was  withheld,  and  it  was  a  source  of 
pleasing  reflection  to  the  detachment,  that  those  whom  they 
were  sent  immediately  to  defend,  were  every  way  worthy  to  be 
defended.     Great  credit  is  also  due  to  the  inhabitants  of  Wil- 


11 

mington,  New-Castle  and  their  vicinities  for  their  promptness 
in  organizing  corps  for  defence.  Two  companies  of  infanliy 
composed  of  the  workmen  at  the  factories  on  the  Brandy  wine, 
were  organized,  uniformed  and  equipped,  under  the  com 
mand  of  the  two  Messrs.  Dupont.  One  troop  of  Cavalry  was 
also  raised  in  the  same  neighbourhood,  and  placed  under  the 
command  of  William  Young,  esq.  An  excellent  corps  of 
Artillery,  commanded  by  Caesar  A.  Rodney,  esq.  was  em- 
bodied at  Wilmington,  and  a  fine  company  of  Infantry  was 
raised  at  New-Castle  under  the  command  of  Nicholas  Van- 
dyke esq.  These  corps,  with  the  addition  of  captain  John 
Warner's  troop  of  horse,  captain  Wilson's  company  of  Ar- 
tillery, and  captain  Leonard's  company  of  Infantry,  although 
not  actually  in  the  field,  stood  prepared  at  a  moment's  warning, 
to  unite  with  the  Pennsylvania  force,  in  opposing  the  opera- 
tions of  the  enemy. 

Just  about  the  time  of  the  return  of  this  detachment  to  the 
city,  an  affair  took  place  in  the  Delaware  bay,  which  reflected 
great  credit  upon  some  of  our  young  naval  officers.  It  is  so 
well  described  in  Mr.  Thomson's  book,  that  we  shall  again 
take  the  liberty  of  using  his  own  words  for  it. 

"A  merchant  sloop,  having  entered  the  bay  on  the  22d.  of 
July,  on  her  return  from  sea  was  cut  off  by  the  Martin  sloop 
of  war,  which  had  just  re-appeared  in  the  Delaware.  The 
sloop  ran  aground  to  avoid  capture ;  and  although  she  was 
afterwards  attacked  by  a  tender  and  four  barges  well  manned 
and  armed,  a  hasty  collection  of  militia  with  one  fisld  piece, 
under  lieutenant  Townsend,  drove  off  her  assailants,  and  saved 
the  sloop. 

*<  A  detachment  of  the  gun  boat  flotilla,  being  at  this  tinie 
but  a  few  miles  off,  were  apprized  of  the  attack  made  by  the 
sloop  of  war,  and  captain  Angus  immediately  proceeded  down 
the  bay,  with  eight  gun  boats  and  two  block  sloops.  On  the 
29th,  he  discovered  the  Martin,  grounded  slightly  onthe  ou  ter 
ridge  of  Crow's  shoals,  and  determine-.i  to  attack  her  in  that 
situation,  he  anchored  his  squadron  within  three  quarters  of  a 
mile  of  the  enemy,  and  opened  a  fire  from  the  whole  line.  The 


12 

Junon  frigate  came  up  to  the  assistance  of  the  sloop  of  war, 
and  anchored  within  half  a  mile  below  her.  Between  both 
of  the  enemy's  vessels,  mounting  in  all  69  guns,  and  the  gun 
boat  squadron,  a  cannonade  followed,  and  continued  about 
one  hour  and  forty-five  minutes ;  in  all  which  time,  scarcely 
a  shot  struck  either  of  the  gun  boats,  whilst  at  almost  eveiy 
fire,  the  latter  told  upon  the  hulls  of  the  sloop  and  frigate. 
This  difference  of  effect  in  the  firing  being  discovered  by  the 
British,  they  manned  their  launches,  barges  and  cutters,  ten 
in  number,  and  despatched  them  to  cut  off  the  boats  on  the 
extremity  of  the  line.  No.  1 2 1 ,  a  boat  commanded  by  sailing 
master  Shead,  which,  by  some  accident,  had  fallen  a  very^ 
great  distance  out  of  the  line,  and  was  prevented  from  re- 
covering its  situation  by  a  strong  ebb,  and  the  wind  dying 
away,  became  the  object  of  attack  from  the  enemy's  barges. 
Eight  of  them,  mounting  among  them  three  12  pound  carro- 
nades  and  carrying  one  hundred  and  fifty  men,  assailed  the 
gun  boat  at  one  time.  Mr.  Shead  continued,  nevertheless,  to 
sweep  her  towards  the  squadron,  and  to  discharge  his  24 
pounder,  alternately,  at  one  or  the  other  of  the  pursuing  bar- 
ges, until  they  gained  so  fast  upon  him,  that  he  resolved  to 
anchor  his  boat  and  receive  them,  as  warmly  as  the  disparity 
of  numbers  would  permit  him.  He  then  gave  them  a  dis- 
charge of  his  great  gun,  with  much  effect,  though  to  the  in- 
jury of  the  piece,  which  being  fired  a  second  time,  and  the 
carriage  breaking  down,  it  became  necessary  to  oppose  the 
enemy,  who  were  closing  fast,  by  the  boarders.  With  these, 
Mr.  Shead  resisted  them,  until  his  deck  was  covered  with 
men,  and  the  vessel  entirely  surrounded  by  the  barges.  Such 
was  the  impetuous  fury  of  the  English  sailors,  that  the  Ame- 
ric-:ins  were  driven  below,  and  the  authority  of  the  enemy's 
officers  could  scarcely  protect  them  from  violence.  The  flag 
was  struck,  and  the  boat  carried  off  in  triumph  to  the  men  of 
war.  In  this  assault,  the  British  lost  seven  killed  and  twelve 
wounded.  On  board  the  boat,  seven  men  were  wounded,  but 
none  killed.  The  squadron  was  all  this  time  firing  at  the 
enemy's  s;.ips;  who  retired  after  capturing  Mr.  Shead  ;  the 


Martin  having  been  extricated  from  her  situation  on  the 
shoal.  On  board  the  flotilla  not  a  man  was  injured,  and  but 
one  of  the  boats'  rigging  cut;  this  was  No.  125,  commanded 
by  sailing  master  Moliere.  The  engagement  continued 
nearly  two  hours,  and  was  the  last  affair,  of  any  consequence, 
which  occurred  in  the  Delaware  during  this  year."

SECOND  CAMPAIGN. 

The  residue  of  the  year  1813,  and  the  first  seven  months 
of  1814,  were  disting^uished  by  nothing  but  the  formation  of 
volunteer  corps  of  the  various  species  of  arms,  and  the  re- 


22 

ciuiting  of  regular  soldiers  for  distant  service.  Still  there 
was  no  organization  of  the  troops  into  batallions  or  regiments. 
Nearly  all  were  strangers,  not  only  to  the  evolutions  of  the 
line,  but  to  the  simplest  manoeuvres  of  the  field.  The 
manual  exercise  and  a  knowledge  of  the  drill  taught  in  the 
school  of  the  company,  was  the  utmost  science  that  most  of 
them  could  pretend  to,  and  the  whole  body,  v/ith  the  excep- 
tion of  the  few  who  had  served  the  year  before,  was  almost 
as  little  qualified  to  take  the  field,  as  the  same  number  of  or- 
dinary militia.  The  service  of  the  preceding  year,  had  in- 
deed been  productive  of  some  beneficial  effects,  but  the  grand 
essential  qualification  of  an  army,  that  of  knoiving  ho%v  to  act 
and  move  in  concert^  was  wholly  wanting. 

In  this  defenceless  and  unprepared  condition,  not  dreaming 
of  danger,  were  the  inhabitants  of  Philadelphia,  on  the  26th 
of  August,  when  the  news  of  the  unfortunate  battle  of  Bla- 
densburg,  and  the  capture  of  the  city  of  Washington,   both 
of  which  events  took  place  on  the  24th,  suddenly  reached 
them.    All  was  consternation.    Terror  was  depicted  in  every  /■ 
countenance.     Already  had  the  fears  of  some  anticipated  ere  \\ 
that  moment  the  sacking  of  Baltimore,  and  not  a  few  were 
to  be  found,  who  predicted  the  identical  day  when  the  enenr 
would  dictate  to  Philadelphia  the  terms  of  her  capitulation.  ^ 
These  alarms  however  premature,  had  a  most  happy  effect.' 
They  taught  the  people  the  folly  of  slumbering  whilst  the 
foe  was  at  the  gates,  and  aroused  the  dormant  spirit  of  thou- 
sands who  had  hitherto  regarded  danger  as  at  a  distance.     A 
public  meeting  of  the  citizens  was  immediately  convened, 
and  a  committee  of  defence  was  appointed  with  ample  power 
to  adopt  such  measures  as  the  urgency  of  the  occasion  might 
demand. 

Consentaneously  with  this  measure.   General   Bloomfield 
resolved  upon   organizing  a  camp,  and  upon  accepting  the 
services  of  such  volunteer  corps,  as  were  prepared  to  offe 
With  that  view  he  despatched  an  officer  of  the  regular  arm 
to  select  a  suitable  spot  at  Kenneths  Square  in  Chester  count, 
about  thirty-six  miles   south  west  of  Philadelphia,  thirtcci' 


Sffes  from  Wilmington,  and  8  or  9  from  Chad's  ford.  This 
place  was  designated  as  the  point  of  rendezvous.,  and'  souie 
companies  immediately  took  up  their  march  and  proceed- 
ed to  the  spot. 

The  First  City  Troop  of  cavalry  commanded  by  Capt. 
Charles  Ross,  marched  at  the  same  time,  for  Mount  Bull,  a 
height  on  the  Chesapeake,  five  miles  from  Turkey  Point  and 
thirteen  miles  from  Elkton,  commanding  an  extensive  view  of 
the  bay,  where  it  estabhshed  its  permanent  head  quarters, 
and  from  which  a  line  of  videttes,  extending  to  the  City,  and 
communicating  daily  with  the  camp,  was  formed. 

The  companies  as  they  arrived  on  the  ground  at  Kennet's 
Square,  which  was  designated  as  Camp  Bloomfeld^  were 
posted,  and  a  course  of  discipline  and  duty  strict  as  that  which 
was  practised  in  the  regular  army,  was  at  once  introduced. 
To  this  rigid  system,  originally  enforced  by  Capt.  Charles 
W.  Hunter,  acting  as  Brigade  Major  under  General  Bloom- 
field,  and  subsequently  adhered  to  by  the  respective  officers 
in  command,  is  chiefly  to  be  acribed  the  high  character  which 
The  Advance  Light  Brigade  then  in  its  primitive  discor- 
dant elements,  afterwards  acquired.  On  the  7th  of  Septem- 
ber, Lieut.  Col.  Clemson  of  the  U.  S.  Army  assumed  the 
command  of  the  troops,  which  were  by  this  time  reinforced 
by  some  companies  of  regulars.  On  the  14th  Brigadier 
General  Cadwalader  who  had  a  few  days  before  been  ap- 
pointed by  the  Governor  to  the  command  of  the  First  Bri- 
gade of  the  First  Division  of  Pennsylvania  Militia,  and  who 
arrived  in  camp  on  the  preceding  day  took  command  and 
relieved  Col.  Clemson,  who  a  few  days  afterwards  moved 
with  the  regular  troops  to  take  up  a  position^ear  Iron  hill 
a  few  miles  in  advance  of  the  Brigade.  On  the  same  day 
upon  which  the  General  took  com.mand,  the  Infantry  in  camp 
at  that  time  consisting  of  eight  companies,  were  organized 
into  a  Regiment  by  the  election  of  the  field  officers  whose 
names  appear  on  the  annexed  muster  roll.     On  the  16th  of 


24 

the  same  month  the  companies  of  Artillery  were  organized 
into  a  Batallion  of  which  Capt.  Prevost  was  chosen  Major*. 

On  the  17th  of  September,  the  Brigade  took  up  the  line  of 
march,  proceeded  on  the  road  towards  Wilmington,  and 
encamped  in  the  evening  on  Gregg's  farm  about  three  and 
a, half  miles  from  that  town.  On  the  20th  it  changed  its 
position  by  removing  to  a  field  half  a  mile  distant.  On  this 
spot  designated  in  the  orders,  as  "  Camp,  Brandyivine**  it 
continued  until  the  29th  when,  as  it  was  intended  to  take  up 
a  permanent  position,  a  more  eligible  scite  for  water  and 
salubrity  was  selected  at  the  distance  of  about  two  miles 
in  a  westen  direction,  which  was  occupied  on  the  last  men- 
tioned day.  To  this  encampment  was  given  the  name  of  Du- 
PONT,  from  the  proprietors  of  the  ground,  whose  extensive 
Manufacturing  establishments  on  the  Brandywine,  are  so 
well  known.  It  was  on  this  field  that  the  Brigade  by  a  con- 
stant attention  to  discipline  and  tactics  acquired  so  perfect 
a  knowledge  of  that  part  of  the  military  art  which  relates  to 
evolutions,  and  the  duties  of  a  camp,  that  it  was  considered 
by  experienced  officers  to  have  had  no  superior  in  the 
service. 

In  the  month  of  November  some  apprehensions  having 
been  entertained  by  General  Gaines  then  commander  of  the 
District  that  the  enemy,  who  had  during  the  whole  summer 
and  autumn  maintained  his  position  at  the  mouth  of  the  De- 
laware, meditated  a  landing  on  some  part  of  its  western 
shore  ordered  Colonel  Irvine  of  the  Army  who  at  that  time 
occupied  a  station  two  miles  below  New  Castle  on  the 
Frenchtown  road,  with  a  detachment  of  regular  troops,  to 
proceed  withjfiis  command  some  distance  below,  and  direct- 
ed General  Cadwalader  to  replace  him  with  six  hundred 
men.  -  The  companies  detailed  for  this  service  were,  as 
follows  viz. 

*  On  the  14th  of  November  the  same  Artillery  Companies  with  tlie 
others  which  subsequently  arrived  im  camp  vere  organised  into  a 
Regimen'  by  the  election  of  the  field  officers  whose  names  appear 
on  the  muster  roll.

5.  The  Delaware  County  Fencibles, Capt.  Serrill. 

The  order  for  this  movement  was  received  on  the  after- 
noon of  the  15th  of  November,  and  under  circumstances 
which  created  a  general  belief  that  a  meeting  with  the 
enemy  would  shortly  take  place.  On  the  morning  of  the 
1 6th.  this  Detachment,  under  the  command  of  Lieut.  Col. 
Raguet  proceeded  to  the  designated  spot,  where  it  arrived 
after  a  march  of  thirteen  miles  by  2  o'clock.  The  staff  ap- 
pointments having  been  made  by  the  commanding  officer, 
the  organization  of  the  Detachment  stood  as  follows : 

Condy  Raguet, Lieut.  Col.  Commanding. 

Samuel  S.  Voorhees, Major. 

Thomas  R.  Peters, Adjutant. 

Frederick  W.  Sperry, Quarter  Master. 

Samuel  Israel, dssistant  Quarter  Master.

The  detachment  reached  the  ground  occupiea  by  Col9nel 
Irvine  just  at  the  moment  that  officer  was  leaving  it,  where 
it  continued  without  the  occurence  of  any  material  event 
until  the  latter  end  of  the  month.  A  commissioned  officer  was 
daily  detailed  and  stationed  at  New  Castle,  for  the  purpose 
of  collecting  from  travellers,  sea  faring  people  and  water- 
men, such  intelligence  respecting  the  position  and  opera- 
tions of  the  enemy  a&  might  be  obtainable,   and  a  report  of 

C 


26 

the  result  of  his  inquiries  was  made  to  the  commanding 
officer.  In  addition  to  this  source  of  intelligence  a  line  of 
videttes  had  been  extended  from  Port  Penn  at  the  head  of  the 
Delaware  Bay  to  Camp  Dupont  by  Capt.  Ross's  troop  which 
was  ordered  to  communicate  with  the  detachment,  and  by 
this  means  a  daily  intercourse  was  maintained  between  all 
the  branches  of  the  Army.  The  lateness  of  the  season 
however  deterred  the  enemy  from  attempting  to  ascend  the 
Bay,  and  all  expectation  of  meeting  him  in  the  field  was 
abandoned.  Two  deserters  from  the  fleet  in  the  Chese- 
peake  fell  into  the  hands  of  the  videttes,  who  brought  them 
to  the  camp  near  New  Castle  (which  was  named  after  the 
comanding  General)  where  they  were  examined  and  sent 
under  guard  to  the  City  to  be  delivered  over  to  the  Marshall. 

On  the  28th  of  November,  in  consequence  of  cold  heavy 
rains  which  filled  many  of  the  tents  with  water,  and  rendered 
the  ground  (which  was  nevertheless  the  best  scite  for  an 
encampment  in  the  vicinity)  so  slippery  with  clay,  as  to  be 
almost  impracticable  for  the  sentries  to  walk  their  rounds, 
the  camp  of  the  detachment  was  broken  up,  and  the  troops 
were  marched  into  quarters  at  New  Castle,  where  a  church, 
the  court  house  and  a  private  dwelling  were  politely  offered 
by  the  inhabitants  for  their  reception.  All  the  rules  of  dis- 
cipline and  duty  which  were  applicable  to  quarters  were  en- 
forced, and  a  proper  and  correct  deportment  was  observed 
to  the  citizens,  whose  hospitality  during  the  continuance  of 
the  detachment  in  the  neighbourhood  had  been  conspicuous. 

On  the  morning  of  the  30th  of  November,  the  Brigade 
broke  up  its  encampment  at  Dufiont^  and  marched  into 
WilmingtoB,  where  it  was  joined  by  the  Detachment  from 
New  astle.  The  whole  left  Wilmington  and  reached  Ches- 
ter on  the  ensuingday  and  on  Friday  the  2d  of  December 
early  in  the  afternoon  entered  Philadelphia.  Such  a  sight  as 
the  march  of  a  body  of  three  thousand  well  disciplined  and 
uniformed  soldiers  with  all  their  baggage  and  munitions  of 
war,  had  notbeen  witnessed  since  the  period  of  the  Revolu- 
tion and  it  may  safely  be  said  that  a  more  proud  and  joyous 


27 

day  was  never  before  experienced  by  the  inhabitants  of  Phi- 
lacelphia. 

The  very  flower  of  the  youth  and  the  best  hopes  of  the  nation, 
citizens  of  every  rank  and  profession  and  of  every  fiolitical 
na?ne,  were  there  commingled  in  the  ranks,  united  in  a  com- 
mon cause  the  defence  of  their  country,  and  exhibiting  to 
the  monarchies  of  Europe  the  glorious  spectacle  oi practical 
equality.  Wives  met  their  husbands,  partnts  their  sons, 
and  sweethearts  their  lovers,  with  all  the  anxious  delight, 
so  incident  to  a  separation  which  involves  the  absent  party 
in  peril,  for  although  no  occasion  of  meeting  the  enemy  had 
been  presented,  yet  an  expectation  of  service  on  the  field  of 
battle,  was  perpetually  and  universally  entertained,  and  the 
present  moment  was  only  regarded  as  an  armistice  which 
would  be  followed  in  the  spring  by  an  early  and  sanguinary 
campaign. 

The  service  upon  which  the  first  City  Troop  was  en- 
gaged, was  of  too  important  a  nature  to  admit  of  its  retuming 
with  the  Brigade,  and  it  was  accordingly  detained  on  duty  a 
short  time  longer,  and  did  not  reach  the  City  until  the  12th. 
of  December. 

In  addition  to  the  advance  Light  Brigade  a  great  body  of 
Troops  amounting  to  near  ten  thousand  men  was  assembled 
in  the  neighbourhood  of  Marcus  Hook,  twenty  miles  below 
Philadelphia,  on  the  Delaware,  under  the  command  of  Major 
General  Isaac  Worrall.  This  force  began  to  assemble  in 
September,  and  did  not  finally  break  up  its  encampment  until 
the  5th  of  December  It  was  composed  of  Militia  from  va- 
rious counties  in  the  State,  and  a  respectable  number  of  vol- 
unteer corps.  As  General  Cadwalader  reported  directly  to 
the  commander  of  the  District,  and  as  his  Brigade  acted  in- 
dependently of  the  troops  at  Marcus  Hook,  very  little  inter- 
course was  maintained  between  the  two  bodies.  With  the 
latter  therefore  we  had  not  a  sufficient  acquaintance  to  enable 
us  to  speak  of  their  discipline. 

During  the  autum  of  1814,  a  considerable  number  of  vo- 
lunteer companies  were  organized  in  the  city  and  county, 


28 

but  did  not  take  the  field.  The  citizens  also  under  the 
direction  of  the  cormnittee  of  defence  occasionally  occupied 
themselves  in  constructing  breast  works  or  fortifications  on 
the  west  side  of  the  Schuylkill,  and  a  martial  spirit  seemed 
to  have  been  so  extensively  diffused  through  the  whole  com- 
munity, that  there  would  have  been  no  want  of  soldiers  for 
the  ensuing  campaign,  had  occasion  required  them. 

The  Brigade  was  not  dismissed  fi'om  the  service  of  the 
United  States  immediately  after  its  return,  but  was  held  sub- 
ject to  future  orders.  On  the  11th.  of  December,  General 
Cadwalader  was  named  by  General  Gaines  on  his  departure 
to  New  Orleans  in  general  orders,  as  his  successor  in  the 
command  of  the  fourth  United  States  military  district,  by 
which  occuiTence  the  command  of  the  Brigade  devolvedi 
upon  the  senior  officer.  Colonel  Biddle.  The  troops  were 
mustered,  inspected  and  dissmissed  in  the  following  order. 

Capt.  Keims'  company  on  the  5th.  December. 

Capt.  Anderson's  company  on  the  6th.  December. 

Capt.  Serrill's  company  on  the  6th.  December.

Col.  Biddle's  Regiment  of  Infantry  on  the  3d.  January, 

Lieut.  Col.  Prevost's  Regiment  of  Artillery  on  the 
3d.  Januray. 
The  preliminary  articles  of  Peace  signed  at  Ghent  on  the 
24th.  of  December  were  ratified  by  the   President  on  the     , 
18th.  of  February  and  put  an  end  to  the  aspiring  hopes  of   i 
those  who  were  fondly  anticipating  the  operations  of  ano- 
ther year.

ADDRESS  OF  THE  EDITOK 


The  materials  which  compose  this  volume  have  been 
aiTan^i^ed  under  the  inspection  of  a  gentleman  who  served  as 
an  officer  in  the  advance  light  brigade;  and  it  is  hoped  that 
the  advantages  of  such  a  publication  will  be  evident  to  all 
who  are  actuated  by  a  true  esfirit  dU  corfis.  The  recollection 
of  military  scenes  in  which  one  has  acted  a  part,  is  always 
accompanied  with  a  degree  of  pleasure :  but,  independent  of 
that  consideration,  there  is  scarcely  an  individual  who  may 
not,  at  some  future  period  of  his  life,  have  occasion  to  refer 
to  events  which  may  have  had  some  connection  with  the  war. 
Nay,  improbable  as  it  may  appear,  the  day  will  arrive  with 
many,  when  some  proof  of  their  having  actually  borne  arms 
in  defence  of  their  country  may  be  of  essential  benefit  to  them 
or  their  families.  There  are,  no  doubt,  at  this  moment, 
many  of  the  veteran  soldiers  of  the  revolution  suffering  with 
want,  merely  because  they  have  not  been  able  to  recollect 
the  names  of  living  comrades,  who  could  bear  testimony  to 
the  justice  of  their  claims;  and  although  it  is  not  to  be  ex- 
pected that  pensions  will  ever  be  granted  to  the  volunteers 
who  served  during  the  late  war,  yet  occasions  may  frequently 
be  presented,  wherein  a  patriotic  devotion  to  the  cause  of  the 
country  will  operate  as  a  consideration  for  the  conferring  of 
appointments,  favours,  or  employments.  More  especially 
would  this  be  the  case  should  our  country  be  again  engaged 
in  war.  Those  who  were  already  acquainted  with  the  disci- 
pline of  troops,  the  practical  duties  of  a  camp,  and  the  various 
movements  of  an  army,  would  naturally  be  looked  to,  as  the 
most  capable  to  organise  reinforcements;  and  it  is  not  im- 
probable that  many  of  those  who  served  in  the  ranks  in  1814 


94 

wili,  at  a  future  day,  occupy  the  most  distinguished  stations 
in  the  line. 

The  difficukies  attending  this  compilation  have  far  exceeded 
the  anticipations  of  the  editor.  Very  few  of  the  commanding 
officers  had  retained  muster  rolls  of  their  respective  corps, 
and  there  was  no  mode  of  procuring  most  of  them  but  from 
the  state  pay-master.  Every  care  has  been  taken  to  insert 
the  names  of  all  who  were  attached  to  the  brigade  and  to 
avoid  mistakes ;  but,  notwithstanding  this,  it  is  probable  that 
there  are  some  omissions,  and  erroneous  spellings,  which, 
however,  cannot  be  ascribed  to  the  editor,  but  to  those  from 
whom  the  muster  rolls  were  received,  or  by  whom  they  were 
originally  furnished. 

As  it  is  probable  that  there  are  many  individuals  who 
would  be  desirous  of  furnishing  themselves  with  positive 
evidence  of  their  having  served  in  the  field  during  the  late  war, 
it  is  respectfully  recommended  to  them  to  procure  from  the 
commanding  officers  of  their  respective  companies  a  certificate 
of  their  service  in  the  following  form,  or  in  any  other- which 
may  be  more  minute.     A  blank  leaf  is  left  for  the  purpose.- 

CERTIFICATE. 

"  THIS  IS  TO  CERTIFY,  That  A.  B.  whose  name 

"*  is  written  with  his  proper  hand  on  the  margin  hereof, 

'*  faithfully  served,  until  honourably  discharged,  as  aAr/- 

"  vate  in  captain  J.  R.  M*s.  company,  being  the  second 

aq      "  company  of  the  First  Regiment  of  Pennsylvania  Vo- 

-jj      "  lunteer  Infantry,  attached  to  the  Advance  Light  Bri- 

"  gade,  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  during  the 

"  campaign  of  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  fourteen. 

"  Witness  njy  hand  tiiis  I6th  day  of  November,  1820. 

The  certificate  should  be  signed  by  the  captain  of  the  com- 
pany, or  in  case  of  his  decease  or  absence,  by  the  surviving 
senior  officer.  A  statement  of  the  age  of  the  i)arty,  and  some 
description  of  his  person  as  to  height  and  appearance,  at  the 
lime  of  the  date  of  his  certificate,  might  perhaps  be  useful  in 
cases  where  there  arc  several  of  the  same  name. 


ADVERTISEMENT. 


The  publisher  of  this  work  will  shortly  put  to  press  a  copy 
®f  the  principal  military  orders  issued  during  the  campaign 
of  1814.  These  documents,  whilst  they  will  revive  the  recol- 
lection of  many  interesting  incidents  connected  with  the  expe- 
dition, will  serve  to  shew  the  system  of  discipline  maintained 
in  the  camp  as  well  as  the  sentiments  entertained  by  the  ge- 
neral commanding  the  District  of  the  efficiency  of  the  Ad- 
vance Light  Brigade.  They  will  also  shew,  that  an  expecta- 
tion of  meeting  with  the  enemy  was  constantly  entertained, 
and  that  although  the  t,our  of  duty  was  performed  v.  ithout 
bloodshed  yet  that  it  was  accompanied  by  all  those  cares, 
solicitudes,  and  watchfulness,  which  are  inseparable  from 
a  military  life  within  reach  of  danger.  The  exposure  of 
the  m  n  too,  most  of  whom  had  never  before  slept  a  night 
in  the  open  air,  to  the  nocturnal  damps  and  fogs  of  Septem- 
ber and  October,  and  the  chilling  frosts  of  November,  although 
productive  of  very  little  disease^  must  be  ranked  amongst  mili- 
tary hardships.  Terrific  stonns  of  lightning,  the  vivid  flashes 
of  which  were  subject  to  the  attraction  of  thousands  of  bayo- 
nets, at  times  threatened  annihilation  to  the  magazine,  an'l 
an  awful  destruction  to  the  many  who  slept  within  its  reach. 
Cold  rains,  one  of  which  lasted  for  nine  days  almost  without 
intermission  from  the  north-east,  were  not  unfrequent.  Storms 
of  wind  and  rain  at  night  sometimes  blew  awa.y'  entire  tents, 
and  left  their  sleeping  inhabitants  without  a  shelter  from  the 
blasts ;  at  other  times  the  prostrate  tents  suddenly  wrapped 
in  their  watery  folds  the  slumbering  tenaiits,  who  with  diffi- 
culty extricated  themselves  from  the  cold  adhesive  sheets, 
without  a  single  change  of  clothes  that  had  escaped  the 


96 

drenching  of  the  falling  torrents.*  Towards  the  close  of  the 
campaign  the  ground  was  frozen  so  hard,  as  to  render  it  im- 
practicable to  drive  tent  pins,  and  the  degree  of  suffering  ex- 
perienced by  many  of  our  patriotic  fellow  soldiers,  who  left 
their  distant  homes  in  warm  weather,  and  who  had  not  been 
supplied  with  winter  clothing,  was  by  no  means  inconsidera- 
ble. And  yet  under  all  these  circumstances,  scarce  a  mur- 
mur was  to  be  heard,  but  on  the  contrary,  a  degree  of  merri- 
ment and  hilarity  was  universally  exhibited. 

The  publisher  cannot  but  think  that  the  proposed  publica- 
tion will  be  highly  useful  as  a  book  of  instruction  to  volun- 
teers and  others,  who  may  hereafter  be  called  into  military 
service,  as  it  will  contain  the  system  of  discipline  established 
at  Camp  Dupont,  which  rigidly  enforced,  made  the  Advance 
Light  Brigade  ivhat  it  was. 


MARTIAL  MUSIC. 

After  the  close  of  the  campaign  of  i814,  a  collection  of 
military  airs  was  published  by  George  E.  Blake,  No.  13, 
south  Fifth  street,  entided  "  The  Martial  Music  of  Camp, 
Dufiont.**  This  work  was  arranged  by  the  same  gentleman 
under  whose  inspection  the  present  has  been  conducted,  and 
contains  all  the  music  of  th«  fifes,  as  well  as  the  principal 
marches  performed  by  the  band.  The  different  airs  of  the 
Reveillee,  Troop,  Retreat  and  Tattoo,  are  included,  together 
with  all  the  minor  tunes  belonging  to  the  various  beats  in 
camp.  To  officers  and  others  who  \fish  to  be  acquainted 
with  the  music  of  a  camp,  this  collection  will  be  useful. 
The  price  is  %  2.
